8 servings Source yield

Ingredients

  • 1 x 4-lb leg of lamb
  • 4 to 6 garlic cloves, thickly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp herbes de Provence
  • coarse sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Make it step by step

  1. Preheat the barbecue to medium-high.
  2. Meanwhile, with a sharp, narrow knife, make numerous, deep slits into the flesh of the lamb.
  3. Stuff the garlic slices into the slits.
  4. Brush the lamb with the olive oil; rub with the herbes de Provence, salt and pepper.
  5. Set the lamb on one side of the barbecue; close the lid.
  6. Turn the heat off on the side of the barbecue the lamb is sitting on; leave the other side set to medium-high.
  7. Cook the lamb, turning occasionally, until the desired doneness is achieved; 65 to 75 minutes should cook the lamb to medium, medium rare.
